PAUL GETTY CENTER 2009 “PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS” & THE LAGUNA ARTS FESTIVAL CELEBRATING 76 BRILLIANT YEARS!It's been 76 years since the first "living pictures" made their debut at the Festival of Arts. When a painter faces a blank canvas or a sculptor picks up a chisel and confronts a mute black of stone, where do they look for inspiration to guide their hands and turn their efforts into art? The Muse, the 2009 Pageant of the Masters, will devote its uniquely theatrical celebration of the art of tableaux vivants -“Living pictures” – to an exploration of the nature of artistic inspiration. For some it is a sacred calling, for others a deeply personal quest. For Paul Gauguin, a journey to the South Seas provided his work with a vibrant new direction; for Maxfield Parrish, the discovery of an ideal model became a key to many of his dreamlike paintings; for America sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington an abiding love for animals anchored her heroic visions. Huntington’s work will be featured as part of another highlight; a special tribute to some of the wild’s great women artists. In every case, the stories of artists, their models and the resulting artworks will offer fascinating insights into the creative process. Playful and provocative, the 2009 Pageant promises another “inspired” summer of artistry. This trip sells out fast, so sign-up early! DATE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2009 TRIP ENCLUDES: DELUXE BUS, ESCORT, RAFFLE PRIZES, ADMISSION TO PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS AND LAGUNA ARTS FESTIVAL Table of Contents
